Rated at 4.5 out of 5 with over 160 reviews on Yelp, Cajun Boil has some of the best Cajun food in South Florida. Located inside one of the most boring shopping centers around the Sweetwater area, this place has a Wynwood vibe to it, with hip artwork on brick walls, dim, inviting lighting, and a very creative brown paper tablecloth that serves as an eating surface for customers.
The menu includes fried foods, sandwiches, soups, raw from the bar, from the wok, Boil, Combos, and sides. Prices range from $2 for select side items and combos up to $69.99. For more information, visit their website.
